It appears my neighbor likes loud cars. When I say loud, I mean that the archaic, loose-belted, muffler-deprived behemoth of a TransAm that parks five feet from my bedroom window actually shakes my house. Furthermore, this fine-car connoisseur is meticulous about care and maintenance for his vehicle. He refuses to take his vehicle anywhere until it has warmed up for at least five to ten minutes. After he returns from an evening's drive, he refuses to shut it down until it has idled for another five to ten minutes. He also works on his car weekly with thirty minutes to an hour of idling and revving... the latter shakes the entire house and is probably responsible for our suspicious lack of house-pests. A dog two blocks away howls like mad whenever he hears (or more than likely feels) the car start up. My brother an I are contemplating methods to "hush-kit" his vehicle and/or get our own JT-8D jet engine set up in the backyard to compete with him in terms of annoyance. "Check it out, bitch! We rigged up an afterburner!"
Feeling rather annoyed, I searched the world wide web and discovered that other people have been "blessed" with similar neighbors, although this guy seems to have much more entertaining problems.
